Gulgong is a small town in New South Wales wset of the great dividing range.

At one time it had a small annual enjoyable folk festival until the organisers ran out of steam.

Johnny Handle and Chris Hendry appeared at the last one - but that's a subject for another thread!

The town has associations with bush poet Banjo Patterson and a Henry Lawson museum. It also has a fascinating museum tracing the agricultural history of outback Australia. Contained within that museum is a collection of every form of recorded music and the wherewithal to play it.

One of the attractions is the opportunity to request the playing of any of their fairly substantial collection of 78rpm records. On one visit there I saw a title which I knew had been a hit for Elvis Presley and so asked if I might hear it, performed by a singer I had never heard of.

The arrangement was the one adopted by Elvis - the 78 was recorded in 1928.

So - you pays your money and you takes your choice.
